Teen Art Studios (TAS) is a free, year-round program open to all teens ages 13–19, offering a welcoming and safe space to explore creativity. TAS celebrates diversity and strives to ensure that teens from all backgrounds, identities, and experiences feel included and valued. Our goal is to make art accessible to every teen and give them the confidence and support they need to thrive artistically,  especially those who may have limited opportunities for arts education or creative outlets. 

Each year, approximately 1,500 teens from King County participate in these free, weekly Friday evening drop-in sessions across three locations. Professional teaching artists facilitate each session and rotate monthly to introduce a new subject and medium from drawing, sculpting, painting and printmaking, to visual storytelling, cartooning, and digital animation.

All materials are provided, and dinner is always included.
